Use your leftover halloween candy to make these Sugar Cookie Candy Bar Bars.
Ingredients
  • 3 sticks butter, softened to cool room temperature
  • 1½ cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla
  • 4½ cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups bite sized candy bars, cut into fourths
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F
  2. In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix for 1-2 minutes. Stir in the lemon zest, flour, baking powder and salt. Mix until combined.
  3. Lightly grease a 11x13 inch cookie/bar pan with cooking spray (we like to use Pam Baking Spray). Press and spread the cookie mixture gently into an even layer into the bottom of the pan.
  4. Gently press the candy bars into the cookie batter, making sure they are evenly distributed.
  5. Bake for 13-15 minutes until the candy bars have begun to melt. Do not overbake. The cookie bars shouldn't have any color around the edges and barely be set in the middle. Cool completely before cutting and serving.
